BACKGROUND ART

Generally, underwear is clothing that is worn for the purpose ofcovering and protecting the main regions of the body and of keeping thebody warm. Recently, there is being developed type of underwear that isimproved in appearance by providing a refined design to the underwearusing various materials and patterns.

Further, recently, research into a functional underwear referred to as afoundation, such as a girdle, a waist slimmer, or all-in-one underwear(body suit), is actively being conducted. The functional underwearprovides a body shaping function as well as the good design to theunderwear, thus offering comfort and giving a good appearance to awearer when she puts on outer clothing.

The present invention pertains to an all-in-one underwear. All-in-oneunderwear may be classified according to the function each serves; i.e.:a type of further improving an abdomen pressing function, a hip-upfunction, a breast volume-up function, etc., and a type of adding ahygiene improving function or a health promoting function in addition toeach of the above-mentioned functions. That is, an all-in-one type ofladies underwear is designed such that a corset is connected to abrassiere (bra). Generally, this is configured such that the brassiereand briefs are integrally formed on upper and lower portions of a trunkportion made of an elastic material.

Such an all-in-one type of ladies underwear is made of a spandexmaterial having elasticity and thus is in close contact with the body,with the result that it can provide beautiful curves and correct adefective body region when a wearer puts on the underwear.

As the conventional all-in-one underwear, there has been proposed KoreanPatent No. 10-0923504, which was filed by the same applicant as thisinvention and is entitled “all-in-one underwear”. The all-in-oneunderwear is configured such that fabric extending from a girdle portionand a waist slimming portion to the shoulder is seamlessly connected toa lower portion of a brassiere portion, thus supporting the breasts morevoluminously and giving a wearer a sensation of carrying a backpack andthereby making a crooked back straight and providing a posturecorrection effect. Further, this underwear gives a three-dimensionaleffect to a hip region without using many patterns and seams, thuscausing the hip region to have more volume and affording an improvedaesthetic appearance. Furthermore, a back portion of the underwear isdoubly formed of fabric which is very high in elasticity and restoringforce, thus allowing the flesh of the armpit and the flesh around thearmpit to be perfectly covered by the fabric of an armhole and renderingthe fat of the back to move towards the breast and the hips whilepreventing the flesh from bulging out. A 4-snap button is put on a lowerportion of the underwear, thus allowing the position of the button to beselected according to the thickness of a wearer's thighs and causing theunderwear to be appropriately adjusted according to the dimension of thegroin and then be comfortably worn.

However, consumers require an all-in-one underwear of more variousfunctions. To this end, many efforts are made to develop a product forshaping a woman's body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will bedescribed in detail.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an all-in-one underwear accordingto a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view ofFIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a state in which a lowerzipper of FIG. 1 is open.

Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout thespecification. In the following description, if it is decided that thedetailed description of known function or configuration related to theinvention makes the subject matter of the invention unclear, thedetailed description is omitted.

The all-in-one underwear 1000 of the present invention is configuredsuch that a brassiere portion 1100, a waist slimming portion 1200 and agirdle portion 1300 are integrated with each other. A front side of thewaist slimming portion 1200 is longitudinally cut along a central linethereof to a predetermined length, thus forming a cut portion 1220. Anupper zipper 1230 is sewn by backstitch to open and close the cutportion 1220.

Of course, according to the embodiment of this invention, the upperzipper 1230 is installed at an inner position. That is, the upper zipper1230 uses a conceal zipper to provide a good aesthetic appearance.However, it is possible to use other general zippers.

Here, fabric extending from a back side of the waist slimming portion1200 to the brassiere portion 1100 is sewn to a lower portion of thebrassiere portion 1100 and an upper portion of the front side of thewaist slimming portion 1200 while seamlessly surrounding the lowerportion of the brassiere portion 1100.

To be more specific, the fabric extending from an upper portion of theback side of the waist slimming portion 1200 to the brassiere portion1100 is sewn to the lower portion of the brassiere portion 1100 and theupper portion of the front side of the waist slimming portion 1200 whileseamlessly surrounding a lower portion of an outer side of the brassiereportion 1100.

Thus, the fabric extending from the girdle portion 1300 and the waistslimming portion 1200 to the shoulder is seamlessly connected to thelower portion of the brassiere portion 1100, thus pulling the brassiereportion 1100 upwards by the high elasticity and restoring force of thefabric, more voluminously supporting the breast up, and giving a wearera sensation of carrying a backpack, and thereby making a crooked backstraight and providing a posture correction effect.

That is, two pieces of fabric having very high elasticity and restoringforce, namely, power net fabric are configured to surround the entireback side and the lower portion of the outer side of the brassiereportion 1100, thus allowing the flesh of the armpit and the back to beperfectly surrounded by an outer piece of fabric and an inner piece offabric, which have an armhole 1230 formed along the shoulder portion andthe armpit portion and have high elasticity and restoring force, thuspreventing the flesh from being bulged out through the armpit andpressing the flesh to move the fat towards the breast, thereforeenabling a wearer putting on the all-in-one underwear to have confidencein her figure.

The main configuration according to the embodiment of the presentinvention is as follows: as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the girdle portion1300 is integrally connected to a leg insertion portion 1500 in such away as to extend from the lower portion of the groin towards the knee bya predetermined length. The leg insertion portion is equipped with alower zipper 1510 which extends from the navel region to the coccyxregion of the hips in such a way as to be open or closed, thus solvingthe physiological phenomena of excretion. A pad 1520 having apredetermined length and width is provided on an inner surface of theleg insertion portion equipped with the lower zipper, and is secured ata longitudinal surface thereof so as to prevent damage to the skin whena slider of the lower zipper 1510 is opened or closed.

Thus, the girdle portion 1300 is integrally connected to elasticallywrap the hips and the thighs without separately wearing briefs, thusmaking the figure of the hips and thighs beautiful, making it easy tosolve the physiological phenomena of excretion due to the lower zipper1510 and allowing the all-in-one underwear to be easily worn due to thepad 1520 provided on the inner surface of the lower zipper.

Further, the inner fabric of the girdle portion 1300 is eliminated atthe hip portion, whereas the outer fabric of the girdle portion 1300 issewn with the hip portion maintained. That is, the hip portion of thegirdle portion 1300 is made by only one piece of fabric, i.e. the outerfabric. The outer fabric having the hip portion 1310 is composed of apair of left and right sides. When the pattern of the hip portion 1310is manufactured, a portion at which the pattern of the hip portion isconnected to the spine is cut by scissors and then is opened, so that anallowance is provided to the pattern of the hip portion and it isthree-dimensionally remanufactured. Thereby, the fabric of the hipportion is cut to receive the hip region while creating a voluminousappearance, so that the hip portion 1310 is sewn along a spinal line insuch a way as to be gathered along with a rubber band.

That is, the outer fabric having the hip portion 1310 is composed of thepair of left and right sides, and the pattern of the hip portion is madeto be gathered, so that the all-in-one underwear is formed in such a wayas to be puffed up and provide the three-dimensional effect.

Thus, the hip portion 1310 of the girdle portion 1300 provides thethree-dimensional effect using a pair of pieces of fabric for the hipportion 1310 without many patterns and seams, thus creating a voluminousappearance and surrounding and supporting the hips with little sewnportions when the all-in-one underwear is worn, thereby affordingcomfortableness and an aesthetic appearance.

Further, the all-in-one underwear 1000 of the present invention isconfigured such that, among the entire back side forming the waistslimming portion 1200 and the girdle portion 1300, only the hip portion1310 and a back-side central portion 1210 of the waist slimming portion1200 are made of one piece of power net fabric and other portions aremade of two pieces of power net fabric having very high elasticity andrestoring force.

Therefore, the portion made of the two pieces of power net fabric havingvery high elasticity and restoring force surrounds the entire back sideand even the lower portion of the brassiere portion 1100, thus allowingthe outer fabric and the inner fabric having high elasticity andrestoring force to perfectly surround the above-described portions,thereby preventing the flesh from being bulged out through the armpitwhile pressing the flesh to move the fat towards the breast, and movingthe fat of the back to be moved to the hip region and the breast regionby the outer fabric and the inner fabric having high elasticity andrestoring force, therefore enabling a wearer to have confidence in herback appearance.

Of course, the all-in-one underwear of the present invention may beconfigured such that a magnet is received in the waist slimming portion1200 or the girdle portion 1300, thus improving blood circulation.

Another main feature of the present invention is as follows: the armhole1230 made of fabric which extends from the girdle portion 1300 and thewaist slimming portion 1200 to the shoulder is provided with a sleeve1400 which extends to the upper arm by a predetermined length.

Therefore, the upper arm is pressed by the sleeve 1400 to tighten theflab of the upper arm, thus making the style of dressing good.

The sleeve 1400 is made of the power net fabric having very highelasticity and restoring force in such a way as to extend from theshoulder to the elbow and come into close contact with the upper arm.The sleeve 1400 is configured such that, when the upper arm from theshoulder to the elbow is divided into three portions, a middle portionat which the biceps brachii of the arm are located is made of doublepower net fabric having high elasticity and restoring force as comparedto the fabric for the shoulder and the elbow. To this end, one piece ofpower net fabric 1410 is added.

Therefore, the region at which the biceps brachii of the arm are locatedcan be more elastically pressed by the power net fabric 1410, thuscausing the region at which the biceps brachii are located to look slimand thereby offering a good style of dressing.
